Not sure if anyone else has noticed this but I found the beginnings of these at both TRU and Target last night.

So far, there is only a "Zip Line" Batman out. He is packaged with a kid sized grapple gun that shoots a suction dart line for batman to attach to and slide along.For the most part, the figure is simply a shrunk down Batman from the bigger "evergreen" line.

Back of the package lists 4 or 5 other Batman figures with some sort of vehicle or play accessory.

If these start to come out as single packed figures, and they include characters other than repaints of Batman I will probably buy in. If this is the format that this line is relegated to, I will gladly stay out.

Saw the lowest-end figures at Kroger a few hours ago. No accessories and the cards are pretty much the same size as the low-end TDKR figures. There was at least one standard blue/gray Batman but the others were the odd colors/armors that we've all gotten sick of...

Say wha?

What rumored DCU line? This is the first I've heard...

Rumor is that this year is Batman and movie Superman in 3 3/4" and next year will be the Justice League in the Power Attack-style.

Mattel only had two 2-Packs of 5 1/2 figures fro TDKR and they were both Batman and Bane in different repaints. Mattel did full 5 1/2 sets of figures for the other two films, so maybe 5 1/2 is dead after all.
